# Cloudflare

> Deploy serverless code instantly across the globe with zero cold starts, infinite scalability, and integrated storage, AI, and network services.

## What is Cloudflare Workers?

Cloudflare Workers is a serverless platform that runs your code on Cloudflare's global network of 330+ data centers. Unlike traditional serverless platforms that use containers, Workers uses V8 isolates for instant startup times with no cold starts.

## Key Features

- **Zero Cold Starts**: Code starts executing immediately using V8 isolates
- **Global by Default**: Deploy once, run in 330+ cities worldwide
- **Multiple Languages**: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, and WASM
- **Integrated Platform**: Storage (R2, D1, KV), AI (Workers AI), and network services built-in
- **Pay for What You Use**: CPU-time based billing, not wall-clock time
